Whether you knew him well, or were just an acquaintance, it did not matter, at least to him it didn't, as he treated everyone with the same love and respect. There is no doubt, that he touched the lives of many, a fact he was always surprised about. It humbled him, and he was truly grateful for the friends he has met here.

It is that rarest of people, who could reach over mountains and oceans and touch all of our hearts. From every corner of the globe, to every walk of life, no matter your ethnic background, your political or religious views, no matter the color of your skin, or even if you spoke English, it did not matter to him, as he considered you all friends, and many, a part of his family.

He was your confidant, your mentor, your biggest supporter, your shoulder to cry on, your voice of reason and logic, and your cherished friend. He was all of those, to all of you, a person you could always count on, to always be there. He would listen to all of you, with every concern or problem you had, he would listen, giving 100% of himself to making you feel better. It did not matter if it was art related or personal, you could always count on him to be there.

This is such a beautiful tribute to our lovely Nick, thank youso much for adding my pictures to it. It was always a pleasureand an honour to do pictures for Nick, he always gave me so much support it was the least I could do

You are right Jenn he did, I know that when I do my pictures his encouragement will continue to inspire me to do my best as I as know that is what he would have wantedfor all of us so that in a way his spirit can live on through our art

He certainly would, I think if we all just slacked offon our art, he would be thinking, why did I bothergiving you all that support and encouragement ifyou aren't going to do anything with it, youlazy gits lol!
